Maple Leaf Knitting Chart

The following leaf knitting chart is based on the Toronto Maple Leafs logo, per request of Andrea on the Bruins Knitting Chart page.

Maple Leaf Knitting Chart 28x21 sts

I am happy to make charts on request if I have the time. But I have no intention of making knitting charts for every sports team imaginable. (I am more likely to make charts for teams that I have some personal connection to, such as Boston teams.)

It depends on the pattern you are using for the hat. If you are using fingering weight yarn you should be able to fit the entire chart on the side of a hat. Worsted would likely not have enough stitches.

To see how the chart would fit, make sure there are more rows in the hat pattern than rows in the chart. You will also want to have about 2x as many stitches as there are across the chart.

I don't know. You could incorporate this chart into a plain stockinette toque pattern through duplicate stitch after the fact or use intarsia to incorporate it into the design while knitting. Good luck!

Hi Rebecca, I volunteer with Silver Threads a charitable organization in Victoria BC. I would like to use the maple leaf pattern on pillows. We do a bazaar in November and this year pillows are my thing. I have saved the pattern, its great! Wendy Jones
